Olympic Committee Confirms It Will Punish Athletes Who Support LGBT Rights In Russia
The International Olympic Committee has confirmed a fear that has overcome the LGBT and sports communities this month: a provision in the IOC charter that calls for the punishment of athletes who make political or religious displays will be enforced during the 2014 Winter Olympics.
When asked if the IOC planned to create a "safe space" of sorts for LGBT and allied athletes, journalists, contractors and other foreigners visiting Russia for the Olympics, officials told Gay Star News, "Regarding your suggestions, the IOC has a clear rule laid out in the Olympic Charter (Rule 50) which states that the venues of the Olympic Games are not a place for proactive political or religious demonstration."
While we're on the subject of rule 50 in the Olympic Charter (which states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas"), the IOC has confirmed that it will indeed enforce it against displays of support for the LGBT community at the games in Sochi.
"This rule has been in place for many years and applied when necessary," the IOC told GSN. "In any case, the IOC would treat each case individually and take a sensible approach depending on what was said or done."
Gay Olympic speed skater Blake Skjellerup has already pledged, along with other athletes, to show Pride during the Opening Ceremonies by wearing a rainbow pin, a display that now may have him in trouble with Russian authorities and the Olympic Committee.
This. Also, aren't there women athletes who cover their heads/hair to coincide with their religious beliefs?
Good, we don't need faggot propaganda in the fucking Olympics. Bad enough that we have to see their disgusting demonstrations and parades everywhere and are labeled "bigots" if we don't kiss their asses and give them special treatment. Fuck off, when I get special treatment for fucking women, you are allowed to get special treatment for being a man who fucks other men or a woman that fucks other women. Other than that just fuck off and keep your disgusting shit private.
Come on people, this is don't-feed-the-trolls 101 here.
Seriously, you use the word "faggot" and then complain that you are called a bigot. Tough. You're a bigot. God's honest truth. You don't like being called a bigot, then stop being a bigot. Simple as that. But apparently that's too difficult for you. Seriously, you'd rather get upset at people for telling you like it is then consider that maybe you ARE a bigot... no, that would require THOUGHT.
please help us find a russian boy. he was getting bullied with a internet video. visit our facebookpage to help. thanks a lot.
Aw, precious, you're off the meds again. Give the nice nurse a ring and tell her to tighten the straps, 'kay?
Please allow me to say, on behalf of the People's Republic of Austin in the great state of Texas:
Bless your heart, sugar. Bless. Your. Fucking. Heart.
so please...enlighten us...what "special treatment" being sought by gay men and women are you denied because you are straight?
WOW, you are literally the first person that responds to me tonight that seems to not be a complete fucking liberal media brainwashed idiot, and that actually sees my point and tries to explore it further, thanks!
Here goes, and this is from personal experience:
Gays get preferential treatment when it comes to getting jobs, because companies have these quotas they have to keep up with , namely a gay quota, a female quota and a minority quota, AKA "positive discrimination", which is by definition BULLSHIT because ANY form of discrimination is bad. You either discriminate, or you DON'T, reason 1.
Gays can now get social support JUST for getting married, In Norway it's been possible since 2009 which I find fucking ridiculous.
It makes absolutely no fucking sense for gay people to get extra money from MY fucking taxes just because they are gay and married. Hetero couples (married), especially younger ones historically get some extra money BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHILDREN, OR BECAUSE THEY ARE SETTING UP A FAMILY AND PREPARING FOR CHILDREN. And last time I checked, SAME SEX PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE, unlike the FUCKED human mind, nature does not work that way, literally the ONLY reason gay people want this whole marriage BULLSHIT is so that they can leech some extra money off the state, Norwegian or American, IT DOES NOT MATTER, reason number 2 why all this gay shit pisses me off.
Reason fucking 3: ALL THE ATTENTION WHORING AND MAKING SOME BIG BULLSHIT DRAMA about the whole thing and SHOVING THEIR GAY CRAP down everyone's throats. You know, I wouldn't be so fucking vocal against the whole thing if they just kept it to themselves, as I've said before, 3 of my best friends are gay, 1 male and a female lesbian couple, but you know why they are my friends? BECAUSE they LITERALLY never fucking bother me with their gay crap or shove it in my face, they just act like normal fucking people doing normal fucking things, they don't whole the whole attention whore shit.
So yeah, it's 6:30 AM here and I could go into more detail and explain to all the morons that call me a bigot why I think what I think, but I am too fucking tired, basically those 3 reasons are the main things I have a BIG problem with because, if you look at it without the fucking propaganda bullshit glasses over your eyes, you will see that ALL of those things are UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED AND UNEQUAL towards straight people.
Which brings me to my last point, ANYONE who says that hetero people are "being treated preferentially" is by definition a complete fucking MORON, because, even with the few simple examples I've shown above you can see that that is absolute fucking bullshit.
WE, normal, straight and productive members of society are now being discriminated against, specifically STRAIGHT MALES because of people that will NEVER have children, will NEVER leave any sort of legacy outside maybe AIDS, and will NEVER carry the human race forward because they are by definition, ERRORS of nature.
And THAT is what I have a fucking problem with. And if you don't like it, you can fuck off because the very liberal rules all you fucking idiots are enforcing and turning the civilized world into a shit hole full of lazy people and freaks daily with are the same rules that say I can say whatever the fuck I want to say and think whatever the fuck I want to think.
Rant over, time for bed.
Sentence one, "gay quota", when I can't even get through sentence one without a complete BS nonsense made up lie, why would I bother reading the rest -- it's going to be full of more made up paranoid fantasy nonsense. I think you need much more than just a good night's sleep. The wake up call you need is one that your alarm clock ain't gonna provide.
Going point by point:
>Gays get preferential treatment when it comes to getting jobs, because companies have these quotas ....
I'm interested - what's your 'personal experience' being discriminated against in hiring for being a heterosexual male? I'm empirically curious.
> ... which is by definition BULLSHIT because ANY form of discrimination is bad. You either discriminate, or you DON'T, reason 1.
I agree. I don't support affirmative action, and I don't support discrimination in hiring practices. The reason I'm curious about your experience is that I have heard personally from several people - some in charge of hiring, some speaking hypothetically - that they would preferentially not hire people they knew to be LGBT**, because they see that as potentially bringing down bad politics and economic luck on their heads.
> Gays can now get social support JUST for getting married, ...
Based on your statement just now that you don't support discrimination, I'm baffled that this upsets you.
>Hetero couples (married), especially younger ones, ..
What's your source? Do you have proof of younger couples receiving extra benefits than elder couples for marrying?
>BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHILDREN, OR BECAUSE THEY ARE SETTING UP A FAMILY AND PREPARING FOR CHILDREN. And last time I checked, SAME SEX PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN ...
This is, simply, false - you're right that two men cannot have a biological child, because clearly, as you say, "nature doesn't work that way," but gay couples that do want children - and some do - can adopt. They are discriminated against in some adoption processes, and in most states, only single parents can adopt. In these cases, both members of a couple are not given equal parental rights.
Furthermore, last I checked, heterosexual couples received monetary benefits for marrying, including tax breaks - regardless of whether they have children. If they do have people that they can claim as dependents - who may or may not necessarily be their children - that tax break just gets larger. It's not like they start out with no benefits and then progress to having benefits once they make the decision to get the wife knocked up.
>WE, normal, straight and productive members of society.... specifically STRAIGHT MALES
So, straight women aren't normal or productive? Politically inactive LGBT people aren't productive?
> ... are now being discriminated against, ...
Unproven and questionable until you can prove your claims. As far as I know, there is no detriment to the benefits heterosexual men receive in society as a result of LGBT people being allowed to demonstrate and have more, if not fully, equal rights.
>because of people that will NEVER have children, will NEVER leave any sort of legacy outside maybe AIDS, and will NEVER carry the human race forward because they are by definition, ERRORS of nature.
In what way are LGBT people "errors of nature"? Have you ever opened an encyclopedia? Many, many, many species of animals, including our closest relatives among Great Apes and Monkeys, demonstrate homosexual inclinations and engage in same-sex sexual rituals.
Additionally, it is false that LGBT people cannot leave a legacy behind. There has been at least one historical case of a pre-op transgendered person (living/identifying as male) getting pregnant and giving birth; and obviously, women who are lesbians don't suddenly stop having periods and ovulating because they prefer female partners.
Moreover, although the incidence of AIDS among gay men is problematic, it is most certainly not a "gay disease," and it never has been. This is a scientifically wrong, historically problematic, and in general tired claim.
> the very liberal rules all you fucking idiots are enforcing and turning the civilized world into a shit hole full of lazy people and freaks daily
Please enlighten me how equal rights for LGBT people create "lazy people."
Hmm so the only legacy gays will ever leave is AIDS and are not productive members of society? Interesting I thought working and credentialed as a Qualified Mental Health Professional, Co-Occuring Disorders Professional, Medically Assisted Recovery Specialist, Certified Reciprocal Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Professional Counselor, and having my Doctorates in Psychology, Masters in Counseling, and being a Substance Abuse counselor for over 20 years helping well over 1000 clients in my years reach sobriety and becoming functioning adults strong in their recovery I was leaving a pretty hefty legacy for my co-workers and treatment facility but i'm gay so I must be wrong because you said it yourself gays will only have AIDS as a legacy which confuses me more as AIDS actually began in Africa when those working with apes came in contact with the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus or SIV for short. Although given the extreme of your rant I would suggest setting up an assessment because common sense would tell someone if something makes me that made don't agitate the situation walk away and ignore it, yet here you are still commenting and attempting to shove your view down others throats, my immediate guess is Borderline Personalty Disorder, Explosive Anger Disorder, maybe just maybe Bi-Polar 2 but that's a long shot.
aids is a human made dessise why animals dont have aids animals are gay 2 (some of theam) and humans have been gay sent the dawn of time
I was hoping to explore your position further until it was obvious that it was (at turns) either bitter, irrational, incorrect, insulting and/or conservatively brainwashed idiocy (or is your position allowed the hypocrisy you condemn in others?). but I guess all of that is fine as long as you're straight and get to continue denying access to things like jobs to those you've arrogantly decided are inferior when the proof here shows you're just rude/crass/immature and therefore far from superior to any "human" fellow human being; while forgetting the democracy of social society that shares the benefits of tax dollars pooled from everyone - even those from the pesky but actually productive gay men and women who (through those jobs they all apparently got just because of their sexual orientation) contribute to the health and education of those poor children of heterosexuals, as well as other non-gay beneficiaries of government programming; and then hilariously/blindly/willfully ignoring the fact that heterosexuals have the advantage of spending millennia shoving their self-congratulatory & arrogantly assumed superiority as well as either political/cultural/sexual conquests down the throats of those "others."
So... as a frustrated heterosexual, are you ready to bed with a man yet? Because I'll gladly be your first, you big angry manly man.
I mean, I suppose you have your own definitions. That's cool.
But as a normal, straight, productive member of society, I'll go ahead and admit that I can't count how many times I've been discriminated against because of gays.
Because have been zero instances.
Your reality isn't the same as everyone else's reality, friend.
And congratulations to your gay friends and your lesbian friends, but other people feel like acting on their political leanings. Lord knows you're doing it.
Out of curiosity, what companies are you speaking of that have given preferential treatment to gays and lesbians in hiring situations? If you don't feel like naming them straight out (or can't, for liability reasons) can you at least name the industries that they're in? This is the most fascinating aspect of your well-termed rant.
Seeing as how i am Native American and get preferential treatment like free healthcare and preferential job hiring. I was wondering if you had a opinion on that? Do you feel that its wrong for Native Americans to get these benefits? I worked for tribe here in Oklahoma and also spent time on many reservations trying to educate and raise that standard of living. Many of these tribes were forced to move to these places. I know it's kind of of topic but i wanted to hear from some one with a strong point of view. But i will tell you one thing for sure, there is no "gay quota" as you say. There is no gay quota in Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Laws.
You are a bigoted troglodyte! You, as a heterosexual, do get preferential treatment. Until the recently overturned blow hole legislation of DOMA, narrow minded idiots like you received a mutitude of federal and sate benefits not given to homosexual couples. All throughout history, even before the bullshit Christian nut jobs got a hair up their ass and tried to lay claim to marriage, it was a civil not religious union. Bound by friends, family, and community NOT a god from any denomination. So go read your precious bible and have a seat on the unicorn's horn spoken of in Isaiah. Any person, government, or association that sanctions human rights abuses in any form deserves the full retribution of all other intelligent persons. Never has progress happened under the shadow of overbearing government or religion. The last time Christianity had its hay day it was called the dark ages!
I'll take a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person over a so-called religious person anyday.
quit promoting your hate filled agenda.
Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people have a right to be happy too.
They don't want special treatment, they want EQUAL treatment, how hard is it to get that through your thick skull.
I am a Gnostic Atheist, thanks for playing. I have no "agenda" other than saying whatever the fuck I feel like saying because that's what I think. That's the beauty of your liberal society bullshit, you get to kiss the asses of all the deviant freaks and I get to tell you all to go fuck yourselves. If you don't like it, tough luck.
Gnostic Atheist? Grow a pair.
If you weren't a mentally retarded Americunt you'd know that Gnostic Atheist pretty much means I have the biggest balls when it comes to religion because it means "Knowing Unbeliever" AKA I know god is not true and religion is complete bullshit.
The the type of atheist your dumb ass is thinking about is "Agnostic Atheist", which is the complete pussy version of an atheist that basically says "I don't believe but I'll keep my mind open just incase, because I am a spineless pussy".
But I excuse your fucking complete idiocy and lack of basic vocabulary because you're an Americunt.
You're welcome for the free vocabulary lesson, Amerijoke.
No it means you have knowledge that god does not exist. That is what gnostic=knowledge, and atheist=no existence of god.
Yet you have no definitive proof, so gnostic atheists are no better than gnostic theists. You are just as bad as they are.
To make it worse, you do not even know the true definition of your belief system.
Well, you sound ignorant enough not to give a fuck about my stance, but everyone is an agnostic atheist or they're lying to themselves. I don't believe in any religion. Christianity, Islam, complete bullshit. But there's absolutely no way to determine if there isn't some creating force that would equate to something that can be called a god. An afterlife is a joke, but as a human, you cannot disprove something beyond human perception. It may not make sense, but it also makes no sense to assume against it. You can say what you will, but it isn't logical, therefore you're lying to yourself.
Beyond that, cutting off human rights regarding something that is a naturally-occuring and harmless variable is ridiculous. The only way humanity can ever hope to move forward is by realizing we're all on the same team. Religion cuts things up into teams, but I can't, for the life of me, understand why a fellow atheist would take such a toxic stance toward human rights. If you had homosexual attraction, why would you want your rights taken away? Would you really consider yourself a disgusting animal? Because I assure, all humans are already disgusting animals. Let's not transfer our disgusting nature into discrimination.
Americunt? Really?
I have the biggest balls
Let us know when they drop.
Last time I checked, Americunt, Norway was the second richest country in the world, and the average salary here is 6000 dollars a month.
On the other hand, last time I checked, America has a debt of a few hundred trillion dollars and is currently in the process of going bankrupt and will soon be OWNED by China.
You ain't dropping shit on me, son, you can't afford it.
Bet it feels real good sucking your own dick as an Americunt doesn't it? Enjoy it while it lasts fuckface, America will not even be one country by the end of this century with the way you morons are fucking yourselves up over there.
1. The deficit is $16 trillion, not hundreds.
2. China does not own enough of our debt to remotely call in their loans and own us. You lack of understanding of our deficit is shocking. I would suggest investing more time into gaining knowledge about our deficit, and less time trying to see how many times you can interject the word fuck or other insults into your uninformed posts.
3. You are a horrible troller...you are too angry for people to take you seriously. You may get a few reactions, but you are too over the top with your homophobic blatherings to suck people in.
You closed minded pussy I'm a gay American Man, and you know what you must be very very lonely. I mean you are against Feminist which I'm sure will get you no women in your life, and your against Homosexuals which means you will never feel the tender love of a man. Hmm I feel so bad for you except for one think you little uncouth CUNT and that is your distaste towards American's here I thought that we American's Cornered the market on being Bigoted closed minded assholes who feared change guess you proved me Happily wrong. But do please take your bigotry and put in a nice warm safe closet where it will be safe and nobody ever has to hear of it again.
very few women are feminists. mostly because feminists are kinda weirdos
Maybe taking all that dick up your mouth and ass at the same time dislodged your brain and caused you to think ridiculous shit about me buddy, but I am married, and I sure as fuck am more happy, productive and overall not weird than you pathetic little genetic errors will ever be. And unlike your naturally redundant ass, I will have children that will carry the human race forward, all you fags and lesbians can do is live one life and nothing else, you are more empty and broken than you will ever realize, shithead, I bet you and your kin cry themselves to bed every night.
Also, I am against feminism because it has become the same fucking unfair and unbalanced bullshit that the gay movement has become, you freaks don't want equality anymore, you want as many fucking advantages for yourselves as you can get, and as many fucking disadvantages for straight men as you can possibly get put into law. Don't fucking lie, you know it's true you bunch of hypocrites. And when me and people like me see our basic freedoms and rights infringed upon like this, you bet your fucking ass there will be backlash and hate towards you freaks, feminist scum included.
Ok. First off, you are permitted to rant. But I do remind you there are lots of gay couples raising families. I know a couple myself. And being the woman I am, I plan to have kids in a few years... and guess what, I am a lesbian. But knowing what kind of world we live in, I hope to whatever god out there she or he turns out straight so they don't have to read comments like yours. It is hateful and from what I have seen, uneducated and lacking any real or thoughtful thought. And your use of profanity just highlights that.
Further more. How am I a freak? I am a business owner who employees all people, yes, including straight people.. Go figure! I have an university education. I travel the world and have many friends. I live a 'normal' life. And how does another group having the same rights take away from you having rights. Last time I checked straight married people get tax credits and write offs that singles do not get. And said married couples using those credits have no affect on my tax situation... Just as a married gay couple would have not affect on a straight couples taxes. In addition, me having the right to give my money to my partner instead of my bigoted brother as no affect on another person's financial situation. Except my bigoted brother. I could go on, but guess what, I have to check email and run a business. ;)
Hahahaha...you are a true count
Serious questions...
Why is it ok, then, for a male to have anal sex with a female? That act also does not procreate...just like oral sex does not...no matter what type of parties are involved. Yet, it seems most guys try (not always succeeding) in having anal sex with their female partner.
Also, being that you have gay friends who aren't all vocal about it, would you still want to see them happy and find their soulmate to marry and spend the rest of their life with? Personally, I think redheads are a mistake of nature, but who am i to say that they shouldn't have the chance to be happy...they cant help they were born a ginger. I mean, really, married life is pretty typical all around. You go to work, come home, visit with your spouse, have dinner, pay bills, go to bed, sleep (because sex becomes non-existent or quite infrequent anymore), and get up to do it all again, realizing that spending the rest of your life with someone is quite a chore and not so much an exciting adventure all of the time...you know...married life.
Lastly, I don't wonder what straight people do in their own private, romantic time and I don't wonder what gay people do...it's their right to do whatever they want with their consenting adult partner. Why are you so concerned and preoccupied by only what same sex people do in the privacy of their bedroom? I've seen far more public displays of crazy, bizarre fetishes by hetero people that have left me a tad more scarred than the scenes the media chooses to show from pride parades (which hardly anyone is as outlandish as you described, but yes, there are some).
Thank you for your insight...I am prepared for the F words now...
So, yeah, I'm not going to bother to argue with you, since you're clearly set in your ways. I just wanted to let you know you're a childish, pathetic, bigoted piece of shit. You're not labeled a bigot because you nobly refuse to give them special treatment, no matter how you want to frame it. No, man, you're labeled a bigot because you're a judgmental, hypocritical, scared man with no perspective on the world as a whole.
Because guess what? The world has left you behind. Within a few years, same-sex marriage is going to be legal in every state, and you're just going to have to deal with it. You can sit and scream to the skies, but you can also just go fuck off, because nobody will care what you're saying. Your time is done, and if you care this much about gay folks existing, the rest of your life is going to be full of anger, rage, and a growing sense of loneliness.
And just know that however angry and upset and betrayed you feel, you'll deserve every second of it, you goddamn disgrace.
Your whole rant would make sense if I was from America, the land of freaks, but since I live in Norway, where gay marriage is legal, 3 of my best friends are a gay guy and a lesbian couple, it doesn't mean jack shit to me.
The whole thing I have a problem with is those fucking idiots over there in Americuntland getting dressed in fucking ridiculous clothing that makes everyone within 5 miles barf, and acting in all sorts of fucking freakish ways. Have you ever seen a fucking gay parade? I saw one once when I had the misfortune of visiting that joke of a country and it was fucking disgusting.
My friends and gay people in general over here don't make such a fucking big fuss out of it and try to weasel their way into special privileges like they do over there, idiot, THAT is what I have a problem with, not the fact that they are gay.
But you keep on being a deluded cunt that thinks a lot of people like me "hate gays" because they are gay, no, we hate fucking attention whores that want special rules and treatment, MUCH LIKE FEMINISTS, I MIGHT ADD.
That being said, fuck off, it's a free world, I can say and thing whatever the fuck I want, and if men fucking other men in the ass is fine, then me saying WHATEVER THE FUCK I FEEL LIKE SAYING AND THINKING WHATEVER THE FUCK I FEEL LIKE THINKING is fine too.
Anders Breivik? Is that you?
Bet your gayfriends would be proud of you, after reading what you just wrote here.
This was about the laws russia are enforcing, and the olympics... Not what Gay's "special" rights in the USA are. What is wrong with you?
Like your better then everybody else because you were born here in Norway, you should be ashamed.
Not so happy greetings from your fellow countryman.
Sherbet, you keep saying that gays in America want "special privileges." No, they don't. They want to be treated exactly as heterosexual couples are treated; they want to be able to get married, just as straight people can, and they want to have the same legal rights that straight married people have. Why is that so hard to understand? As far as preferential treatment in hiring is concerned, I'm not aware of any "gay quotas". Yes, there are racial preferences, but no gay quotas that I've ever heard of. And, yes, some gay people are kinda flamboyant. Whatever, get over it. As for your obsession with anal sex, you do know that straight people have been known to engage in that, too, right? :)
Hey, kiddo! You know where do they love gay parades more than in America? That's right. Germany has huge parades. Don't lie to yourself in thinking that all you hate comes from far away. Also, you should bare in mind that comparing Norway, with it's ridiculous population, with the USA or, in fact, any big country. You should have a better chance of finding out some actual information comparing the average salary in Norway with that of Berlin. If, however, you are interested in comparing Norway to the US, I would, if I were you, check the relative price levels of basic goods. Living in Norway is at least 60% more expensive than in the States, and you pay way more taxes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity#Measurement -science, bitch!
Something you don't seem to realize is that, just as you don't really give any fucks about, what you call, "the big fuss" "gay people in general" "make about it", "the [gay, amongst other] people in general" don't really give a fuck about a completely nonsensical and probably very young human being like you. After all, you know, no one want you specifically to go to and/or watch a gay parade. It's really cool you have a mind and an opinion that fit into the smallest of diameters, but you shouldn't make a big fuss about that.
Finally, please don't call me an Americunt. I really have nothing to do with that country.
you do get special treatment, though. it's called "Being a straight male." Congratulations! you never have to worry about being beaten to death or being publically outcast because of something that happened on a genetic level. being LGBT isn't genetic, you say? did you choose to be straight? no, you just were? oh, what a coincidence...
also, no one is ass fucking in parades and stuff. all of that shit is kept in the bedroom. indecent exposure is still indecent exposure, regardless of the genders involved.
Actually there is quite a bit of ass fucking in several of the parades here in San Francisco. Shocking I know, and technically illegal, but it does occur.
They are not asking for special treatment just equal treatment. Do you get hassled, attacked, arrested, or jailed for you sexuality? In Russia gays suffer all of that.
Keep your bigotry private then asshole.
I'll keep my bigotry private when the faggots keep their ass fucking private, hypocrite shithead...
Hmmm, Sounds like you have been watching a lot of "ass fucking"
Have you been witnessing a lot of ass fucking there, Sherbet? Is that what's got you so hot under the collar? Maybe you've seen a film--watched every disgusting frame of it, twice?
So you have been watching a lot of outdoor gay ass fucking? Personally I thought it was private beause I have never seen guys having sex.
How many times have you watched guys having sex?
Sort of confirms what they say about the guys who are the most homophobic. Is that you Ted Haggard?
@Earthskimmer Russia didn't ban gay people, it banned gay rights campaigns. You think the world circles around you and your gay rights so we should hold every Olympics in Holland? You're the plague.

Property tax is levied on the fair cash value of all real and tangible unless a specific exemption exists in the Kentucky Constitution or in the case of personal property, has been granted by the General Assembly.
The Kentucky property tax calendar provides a general outline of the major statutory due dates for various parts of the property tax assessment and collection cycle. These dates have been established by the Legislature in an attempt to provide for continuity throughout the year across the State as well as to provide for the equitable and timely levy and collection of property taxes.
Overview of the Tax Calendar
The assessment date of both real and personal property is January 1 of each year. The official name on the property tax bill is the January 1st property owner. Real property owners can list their property with the property valuation administrator between January 1 and March 1, while tangible personal property must be listed between January 1 and May 15.

My install through Preseed fails at around 80% on Select and Install Software. In VT-4, I can see Hash Sum mismatch errors.
This may be because I am going through a firewall which is caching files.
There is
no-cache option for
apt but I can't seem to get it to work with Preseed.
Have tried:
d-i debian-installer/no-cache string true
d-i apt-setup/no-cache boolean true
d-i preseed/early_command string mkdir -p /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d; echo "Acquire::http {No-Cache=True;};" > /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-cache
but none of these are working. It appears that the early_command occurs too early so is over written once install starts.
I'm not sure if the other commands are even correct.
Anyone know what is the correct way of disabling achieving this through Preseed?

Dorada supports the humour and the solidarity of the contest 'The Laughing Song' with a €1000 prize (Translation)
24 February 2012
- Compañía Cervecera's brand sponsors the contest, and seven groups will participate this year
- With this initiative, Dorada wants to support the solidarity of the contest and the proceeds will be donated to a soup kitchen in Noria Street
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, February 23rd, 2012.- Dorada, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias' brand will sponsor again this year the prize of the contest The Laughing Song, an event that combines humour and solidarity. The event will take place tomorrow, Friday, at 21:00, in the Guimerá Theater of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Dorada wanted to participate again in the organisation of the event with the donation, for the second time in a row, of €1000 for the Dorada Prize of the contest directed and organised by Manón Marichal, which has became one of the most visited events of the Chicharrero Carnival.
Humour and laughter will be predominant in a show with the participation of the following groups: Ni norte, ni sur, ni este, Los niños del pijama a rayas, La pandorga está llena de pejes verdes y de algún tamboril, La familia Monster, Los lejías, No tengo el Chichi pa farolillos, and Los sabanreños. These groups will be competing for the laughter of the audience.
Beyond its first goal, The Laughing Song wants to help the most disadvantaged groups. Since its beginning in 2006, the proceeds have been donated to La Milagrosa soup kitchen in La Noria street, with the goal of helping to the development of the social work carried out in such a place. Also, last year, the quantity of the Prize Dorada was added to the proceeds and donated on behalf of the winner group.
With this initiative, Dorada completes its support for the collaboration with the main activities of the Chicharrero Carnival. The brand has sponsored, for the second year in a row, the first prizes of interpretation and presentation in the street bands, krewes and musical groups of the Chicharrero Carnival.
Also, it has defrayed the expenses of the musical shows organised in Príncipe Square, and it has launched a limited edition of 270,000 aluminum bottles with three designs inspired by the most international celebration from Canarias and a fourth design dedicated to Los Indianos de La Palma
To this it has to be added 1,410,000 Dorada cans with a design inspired by the celebration.

It amazes me sometimes how often it seems to occur that when I read some of the latest studies into weight loss, philosophies Slimxpress has been touting for years are consistently proven to be accurate. The latest is a study into exercise's role in weight loss, and particularly why it seems that the more we exercise, the less we lose.
Researches at The Univeristy of Copenhagen dug into this problem in a recent study. The New York Times reports that the researches gathered a group of overweight, sedentary young men (in their 20s and early 30s). From this group they divided them into three groups:
The first group was a control and were told not to alter their diet or activity habits.
The second group was told to keep the same diet but to do moderate workouts daily, the goal being to burn on average 300 calories.
A third group was instructed to perform more rigorous workouts daily, burning 600 calories.
All groups kept detailed daily food journals. The results were surprising to none of us who have tried to burn fat with intense workouts:
At the end of the 13 weeks, the members of the control group weighed the same as they had at the start, and their body fat percentages were unchanged, which is hardly surprising.
On the other hand, the men who had exercised the most, working out for 60 minutes a day, had managed to drop some flab, losing an average of five pounds each. The scientists calculated that that weight loss, while by no means negligible, was still about 20 percent less than would have been expected given the number of calories the men were expending each day during exercise, if food intake and other aspects of their life had held steady.
Meanwhile, the volunteers who'd worked out for only 30 minutes a day did considerably better, shedding about seven pounds each, a total that, given the smaller number of calories that they were burning during exercise, represents a hefty 83 percent "bonus" beyond what would have been expected, says Mads Rosenkilde, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Copenhagen who led the study.

** The Traditional Leadville Pacer and other traditional-style sandals use traditional laces and tying styles. If you're looking for a slip-on, simply adjustable lacing option, visit the regular Leadville Pacer, Mono, Venado, and Leadville product pages. **
The Leadville Pacer is a light and lean 9mm trail sandal that is a slightly thinner version of the 11mm Leadville model. It provides enough protection to handle just about any trail while offering a little more ground feel than the classic Leadville. It uses a Vibram sole that is light, durable, and has an aggressive tread pattern.
The Leadville Pacer comes with our new MGT (Monkey Grip Technology) footbed, which maintains the black, low profile, look of the naked top Lunas while improving traction and durability.
The 1mm vegan footbed adds reinforcement to the toe and ankle holes without significantly increasing total sole thickness or detracting from ground feel. Lunas with the MGT footbed are more slip resistant on trails and in wet conditions.
Traditional Laces:
Traditional laces have been used for thousands of years on huaraches sandals. They're secure, stylish, and infinitely adjustable with multi tying and wearing methods.
All sandals ordered with traditional laces are tied with a traditional overhand knot, but with our countersunk method the knot will sit deeper in the sandal making it longer lasting and less prone to abrasion. A washer is added between the knot and sandal to prevent the knot from pulling through the toe hole.
Traditional Ribbon laces are our most comfortable traditional lacing option yet. The ribbon is the same material used between the toes on our ATS laces, but for the entire length of the lace. If you love traditional laces, but have trouble with irritation from our thicker leather laces, give our Traditional Ribbon a try.
¼" traditional leather laces are a high quality wax impregnated latigo lace. These laces are strong and comfortable.
The ⅜" traditional leather laces are 10mm wide (all other traditional laces are about 6mm wide), adding extra security and strength to your sandals. These laces may not be as comfortable for those that are new to wearing huaraches as they are very thick and sturdy between the toes.
Braided hemp laces that are soft, comfortable, vegan, and get tighter when wet, giving them a distinct advantage over other traditional lacing in wet weather. Hemp laces do tend to break more often than other traditional lacing, making reties more frequent.
Be sure to check the Instructions menu for videos displaying different tying methods, tips, and more for all our lacing options. Or check out our YouTube channel.

Last week, Governor O'Malley signed the Jobs Creation and Recovery Tax Credit, which offers Maryland businesses a $5,000 tax credit for every unemployed Marylander hired, effective March 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010. Working with the Governor, our legislators and our stakeholders in the business community, we were able to put forth this bold initiative which gives businesses the jump start they need to create new jobs. To claim the Job Creation Tax Credit, employers must receive certification from the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) that their hires meet basic eligibility requirements. The Maryland resident must be an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimant or someone who has exhausted their UI benefits. You can find these claimants by contacting your local One-Stop Career Center. Some UI claimants may also have registered with the Maryland Workforce Exchange. If you have eligible employees you have hired on or after March 25, click here to file online – all applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. With this legislation, Maryland demonstrates strong business support and critical leadership that is needed now more than ever to strengthen the bottom line of our local businesses and put people back to work. If you have any questions about the program, click here for more information or call 410-767-2996 to speak with a DLLR representative.

Narrator: This is Science Today. The circadian rhythm is an internal biological clock that regulates physiologic processes on a twenty-four hour cycle.
Kriegsfeld: What many people think is that these cycles are controlled by some sort of external cue in the environment like the rising and setting of the sun or daily temperature cycles, but there's a clock in your brain that's located in an area of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN, that controls all these cycles. If you eliminate that clock or if you have a tumor that eliminates that clock, then you will no longer have cycles in your physiology and behavior.
Narrator: Lance Kriegsfeld, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley is studying how the body's internal clock affects hormone cycles in the body, including ovulation, and how disruptions contribute to the fatigue and insomnia of jet lag.
Kriegsfeld: If we can get a handle on how to control the timing of these hormones, we could begin to get a handle on how to help reduce the effects of these jet lags or temporal disruptions.
Narrator: For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

A Look Back at Cecil Shorts' Amazing Sophomore Season in the NFL
It was a great 2012 season for 2nd year NFL breakout player Cecil Shorts of the University of Mount Union.

It was a great 2012 season for 2nd year NFL breakout player Cecil Shorts of the University of Mount Union. Cecil ended the regular season with 55 receptions for 979 yards and a team-leading 7 touchdowns, while being picked a Visio Top Value Performer finalist along with Eric Decker, Stevan Ridley, Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Alfred Morris.
I visited ESPN's split stats for the season and found some eye-opening numbers. Right as Cecil became a starter, he increased his total receptions and yards by 40 and nearly 500 respectively, making the most of his opportunity. He also was most productive on first and second downs, accounting for 40 recpetions and 766 yards with 6 of his total 7 touchdowns. By down and length, Cecil was most productive on first down with 10+ yards to go, where he averaged 22 yards per reception. He also excelled when the Jaguars were trailing, catching for 718 yards and 5 total touchdowns, the most memorable an 80 yarder again Indianapolis. Needless to say, Cecil has been quite the deep threat, and should stay in that starting role come 2013.
Being such a deep threat, he was tied for second in the NFL for yards per catch in 2012 with San Diego's Danario Alexander at 17.8, behind only Tampa Bay's VIncent Jackson at 19.2, and also ranks second in the NFL with four receptions of 50-plus yards and an 18.9-yard per catch average. That being said, he also was No. 6 on Pro Football Focus' list of receivers with the worst drop rate. Safe to say and arguing for his side, he was behind Indianapolis receivers Donnie Avery and T.Y. Hilton with rates of 16.67, a team where Cecil had his highest production totaling in 7 receptions for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Cecil has created some buzz around the league at large as well. NFL analyst Trey Wingo (@wingoz) had this tweet to say about his 67 yard TD catch against the Houston Texans:
Cecil Shorts with a 67 yard TD #allhedoesiscatchridiculouslylongTDs
He has earned many other admirers during his breakout year, and a special one in Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The highly touted NFL coach had some good things to say about Cecil and his breakout year before heading into a game with the Jaguars.
"He's done a great job; he's really impressive," he said on a conference call. "He's one of the best guys we've played against this year. He competes hard — he doesn't take any plays off and he works hard on every route," Belichick said. "I think he does everything well. Excellent downfield receiver, he's got really good quickness off the line of scrimmage against press coverage, he breaks tackles and can take it all the way."
In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Cecil remains to be humble, despite putting up great numbers in his amazing sophomore season. After continuing to make the most of his opportunities, getting more targets and gaining quarterback trust, he believes he can still improve much, much more.
"As a total wide receiver, I think I have some work to do. I always see myself as needing to improve. Last offseason, this offseason, just improving my total game. I don't want to focus on just one thing – my hands or – just trying to focus, as a total receiver, just getting better. I think my route-running can improve, especially on some certain routes. You can get cut if you can't get off the press. I think I did a good job of getting off the press, but you can never be too good at it. So getting off the press is definitely an important thing I think I need to work on. But I'm excited for this upcoming year. Third-year campaign and I think I can do some good things next year."
I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people, that Raider Nation is looking forward to seeing another tremendous season from Cecil in 2013. He's making a name for himself, giving opportunity to other Mount Union players who are trying to make it to the league, and he's going to be one of the league's best values until the end of the 2013 campaign if he keeps on the same track.

Milner Joins ORU as Head Men's Tennis Coach
"The men's tennis program at ORU has always been one of our successful teams, and Mark Milner is the right man to lead us back to a championship level," said Carter. "Mark was an integral part of a very successful program at Metro State, and I have no doubt that he will bring that success to ORU for many years to come."
"I am honored to be selected as ORU's next Head Men's Tennis Coach and would like to thank Mr. Carter for giving me this wonderful opportunity," said Milner. "I intend to represent the University and the athletic department with great pride, and I am looking forward to many successful seasons in the coming years."
Milner spent the past four seasons at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where he was the assistant coach for both the men's and women's tennis programs. The Roadrunner men's program went to the NCAA Division II Tournament in 2012, its second trip under Milner's watch.
Previously, Milner had coached both the men's and women's tennis programs at Metro State to the NCAA Division II Tournament in 2009. The men's team went 8-0 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play that season and made the Round of 16 in NCAA play.
Metro State's teams had a reputation for success both on the court and in the classroom under Milner's watch. In Milner's four seasons, the Roadrunners produced 12 All-RMAC honorees and nine Academic All-RMAC selections. 2012 graduate Lucio Cangiano won the ITA Central Region Singles Championship in each of his final two seasons under Milner's tutelage.
Milner served as a USTA Club Professional both prior to and during his stint at Metro State, including stops in Texas, Kansas and Colorado. Most recently, Milner was the pro at Rolling Hills Country Club in Golden, Colo., where he taught lessons to a wide variety of age groups and served as the administrator for a variety of events.
Collegiately, Milner spent his final two seasons at Metro State, where he graduated in 2007 with a B.A. in Human Performance and Sport. He was a two-time All-RMAC selection in both singles and doubles play, and he also earned Academic All-RMAC honors twice.
Prior to his playing career at Metro State, Milner spent two seasons at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan., where he was an All-American in the junior college ranks.
Milner inherits an ORU men's tennis program that captured nine Summit League tournament titles in their 14 years in the conference. The Golden Eagles will begin play in the Southland Conference in 2013.

BRATTLEBORO, VT The Persons School of Marlboro College will offer an open house from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m., Saturday, March 31, to provide information about its Internet masters degree programs. President Paul LeBlanc and Persons School faculty will make a presentation and take questions, alumni will discuss their experiences with the program and their careers since graduating, and Persons School staff will provide a tour of the state-of-the-art facilities, along with light refreshments.
The Persons School offers one-year masters programs in Internet Strategy Management (ISM), Teaching with Internet Technologies (MAT), and Internet Engineering (MSIE). The programs are designed for working professionals, with classes meeting every other weekend and online.
The focus of the open house will be the unabated need for information technology experts amid the stock market correction that has hit technology companies heavily. LeBlanc cautions against overreacting to the burst of the dot-com bubble. "Our e-commerce program has always been about taking existing businesses and integrating into their work an online strategy that supports growth, improves customer relations management, generates cost-savings, and maintains a competitive edge."
Graduates of the ISM and MSIE programs have joined established industry leaders such as Brown Brothers Harriman, Charles Schwab, IBM, Viant Corporation, Spring, Pratt & Whitney, LEGO Systems and Motorola. The MAT program prepares educators to help schools integrate the educational possibilities of the Internet into their programs.
The Persons School will also offer regional information sessions, April 4 at the Hotel Northampton in Northampton, Massachusetts; April 5 at the Hastings Hotel in Hartford, Connecticut; and April 18 at the offices of Vertek in Colchester, Vermont. Each session will run from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
To attend the open house, please call 802-258-9200 to R.S.V.P. More information is available at that number or online at persons.marlboro.edu.

Western Tush Cushion®
The careful engineering of the Cashel Tush Cushion® makes hours in the saddle a lot less painful. Made with the same closed cell foam as the popular Cushion saddle pads, they will not collapse or give the way open-cell foam can. They will not compact, bunch up, nor absorb. They hold heat, as well. Adjustable nylon straps hold firmly in place, preventing the sliding and shifting problems experienced with other seat savers. The Tush Cushion does not interfere with your balance and seat in the saddle, it just makes it much more comfortable.
The Luxury Tush Cushion is the ultimate cushion in the line. It is wider and longer to support you where the saddle doesn't. Specifically designed with double thick Cashel foam along the outside edge to help eliminate painful pressure points and provide and an incredibly comfortable ride.

I ran out to buy this product in medium intense auburn (r2) because it was raved about by the YouTube guru saaamage and she had beautiful dark burgandy / reddish hair. During the application, the color dripped everywhere (not unusual) but was extremely easy to wipe off the sink even after 10 minutes. I have thick hair up to my mid back and one box worked perfectly for me. While it did smell like ammonia, it wasn't overpowering and I did not feel like I had a headache from the smell even though I left it on for 40 mins. Rinsing this baby off is the hard part. It took forever. 20 mins of rinsing did not get all the dye out so I gave up and just slathered o the conditioner included in the box.
The conditioner is amazing. The directions said to leave it on for 2 mins but I left it on for 10 to get the optimal conditioning. Wow. After I rinsed it off my hair looked the shiniest it's ever been on my life. Think of sparkles and unicorn magic shiny. The color itself was darker than the picture in the box but in areas (such as my temples) where the hair is finer, it is more other and reddish toned. Keep in mind that I started off with dark brown hair so I wasnt expecting to see a shade that wasn't as black as it turned out. There was more color fallout the second time I shampooed but it's slowly diminishing. Overall I love how healthy it made my hair look but I may try the lighter color next time.

I was looking for the following:
Same color as John Frieda's Deep Cherry Brown.
Not a mousse
Not $13 a box!!!
Mousses dry my hair out something fierce when I have to do touch-ups every 3 weeks because my grey hair seems to want to show up after 2-2 1/2 weeks. Thank you genetics! Also my hair is almost down to my waist, so I have to use 2 bottles no matter what brand I use when I change my hair color. For a touch-up, I just use 1 bottle.
The smell of Garnier was not bad at all. It wasn't overwhelming and did not make me dizzy like some of the other brands I have used in the past. Also, the gloves didn't break. This is a big deal to me. Some of the other brands, the gloves break right in the corner where my thumb and index finger meet and I get a nasty stain there for days.
The red does not stain my shower/bath. Yes, it takes a few washes to get it out of my hair. This has been normal for all reds it seems, but especially this brand. I don't see this as bad, since it really adheres to the strands. It does make my head itch a bit until the remainder of the dye is out. But in hindsight, not near as bad as Revlon Colorsilk. I seem to have an allergic reaction to that brand. I loved the Medium Brown, but the itching was unbearable. It's like the dye just wouldn't come out ever! I had to scrub my scalp and hair with my nails and have a friend help me! And the reds were patchy on my daughter and I, no matter how much we shampooed and tried to even it out, they patched up our scalp.
When I touch-up with Garnier, I run most of the remainder through the length of my hair, but in chucks. So it basically has a unique effect and keeps it from drying my ends.
Just FYI, to keep my hair from drying out, I use Dove Color Care Shampoo and Daily Treatment Conditioner (Dual Stripe Treatment). It does wonders. John Frieda does have Radiant Red Shampoo & Conditioner that is tinted red. Seems to keep your red color pretty bright. My oldest Daughter has red hair as well and she uses that. She loves it. I don't use it everyday because it dries my hair out if I do. Every once in a while isn't bad though.
I don't get the negative reviews on this. My hair is a dark brown- a shade or two lighter than the "dark brown to darkest brown" shown under the hair color results on the side of the box. I have dyed my hair all sorts of red & purple (that looks almost red) to try to get this color. I have black ends from dying my hair in the past. I was afraid to use this over my roots, dyed hair, and black ends. I thought I was going to get bright red roots, dark red from there, and black ends. It didn't happen! I was so happy when my entire head is a dark cherry red. In sunlight it glows a gorgeous red and I couldn't be happier! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Basically if you want a vibrant dark red then buy this! It worked for me on my dark hair and my hair doesn't feel or look damaged. I don't get why the reviews are so poor on this. Also I have a little longer than shoulder length hair, I used a whole bottle, and I left it on for an hour.

I absolutely loved this color! It came out just as the box said. I have always been afraid to do a red color due to my light skin tone and blue eyes, but I went for it and so glad I did. It looks great and it's a gorgeous color. I get a lot of compliments on the red color! It did not dry or fry my hair. My hair looks and feels as if it hasn't been colored at all! Love this dye!

This is the color i used after bleaching the black out of my hair to a brown color. The dye burns my nostrils bc if the strong scent. The color is DARK auburn and i mean dark which was great for my transition at the time. I love the dye
This part if for the MEDIUM INTENSE AUBURN. This color is nice but i feel it was not much light than the dark color
Overall this dye does not dry out my hair and the color stays in for quite a while

THIS IS FOR THE MEDIUM INTENSE AUBURN! I cannot get over how much I love this hair dye! Four months after I dyed it and had a good inch and a half of regrowth, this color was still going strong. I get TONS of compliments on my hair and NOBODY believes how well it holds up without fading. Hell, even *I* don't believe how well it holds up! Gorgeous color. Just...gorgeous!

Some notes: This is for the R2 Medium Intense Auburn. I am not a hair stylist, these are just my suggestions for this product.
I have naturally brown-black hair that I have dyed black and auburn alternatively over the years. Therefore I understand that using a red box dye will give my hair a tint or sheen of the specified colour. While these products are specifically for dark brunettes, do not expect the colour on the box on the first go. As with most box dyes, the heat from your scalp will cause the colour to be concentrated at the roots and virtually invisible on the length of your hair. I threw out the developer this comes with and used my ion 30 volume developer from Sally's. I left it in for about 45 minutes (which is longer than the instructions suggest), applying the colour first to my ends and lastly on my roots.
OBVIOUSLY the rinse-out will be intense. I am not sure why this is so upsetting to people, it is quite inevitable. Red is the biggest colour molecule and it will consistently rinse out/bleed every time you wash for several weeks. The dye did not stain my bathtub nor my hands. It did not wreck my hair as much as L'Oreal Feria and other box dyes have. The formula is quite creamy and leaves the hair fairly soft.
My hair did take the colour around my crown and about two inches down my hair shaft. I wasn't expecting a miracle but was hoping for slightly more consistent results. I give this dye 4 lippies because the colour I have is absolutely beautiful. It is a rich mahogany auburn violet that shines bright red in the sun. If you have blonde to medium brown hair, this will probably be very effective on you, even just following the box directions. If you have black hair like me or are a dark brunette or have previously dyed hair, I highly recommend getting your hair professionally dyed or buying professional colour from Sally's and mixing with 30 or 40 volume developer (very affordable). Red hair requires patience.
I normally use Garnier Chocolate Cherry which I love and picked this up to try something new. I was a bit nervous when I saw the color in the bottle, but thought I'd just try it. It's pretty intense-very red, which didn't really bother me b/c my hair has been every shade of red imaginable. Don't love it, don't hate it. Though will not repurchase.

Used the new Ultra-Color in BL26 Auburn Black.
The color is a bit more blue than I prefer, but it looks good and I get compliments. A bit uneven when coloring greys (I have red and white striped hairs) and very difficult to apply evenly. An absolute nightmare to rinse out. 3 weeks later and I am STILL rinsing out color and staining towels. And this is washing my hair every other day. Overall - not purchasing this again.
My review is about Garnier Nutrisse Ultra-Color R.2 - Medium Tint Auburn - hair color.
When I bought the Garnier Nutrisse Ultra-Color hair dye, I appreciated the fact that TPB color experts have finally begun to recognize the needs of brunettes haired customers in a sea of colors indented for lighter colored hair. I have used other Garnier Nutrisse hair coloring products with varying degrees of success. The Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color R.2 hair dye for brunettes seemed like an ideal choice for my naturally very dark brown-black hair. I was truly excited to try this color!
Unfortunately Garnier Nutrisse did not uphold its promise of providing luscious auburn color for even the darkest colored natural hair. I realize that each person's ethnicity and genetic structure affects the results of the product. Perhaps less indulgent marketing claims would have led to fewer customer disappointments. Garnier does make good products, this one just happened to miss the mark (for me). Hopefully, they will vest more research into the next "improved" version of this line.

Canyon Capital Realty Advisors LLC, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm, said it made a $27.7-million senior construction loan for BrickellHouse, a luxury Miami condomium project that is set to top off shortly.
The loan was made to an affiliate of Newgard Development Group to refinance an existing land loan and to fund construction to complete the 46-story tower at1300 Brickell Bay Drive. The 374-unit tower, which is expected to be completed by next summer, is nearly sold out.
With the Canyon Capital funding, Newgard developer Harvey Hernandez swept aside a potential distraction to the project in November by paying off a lienholder who had filed a foreclosure suit on a $15.8-million land loan that wasn't due for three years. The former lienholder, JBG Development LLC, which is controlled by Jose Baboun, filed suit against the developer after a dispute erupted over how to subordinate JBG's lien in order for BrickellHouse to obtain its construction loan.
Canyon Capital, a unit of Canyon Partners LLC, an investment management firm, said the BrickellHouse loan marked its eighth project in Florida in the last three years and its second in the Brickell area.
